[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 6678194, member: 573988"] I'm getting what I believe are voltage drops but the problem is interesting. #1 it is at certain points only when bass hits and the bass cuts out completely but not immediately. (it fades out) #2 It seems to only happen at specific frequencies. Some songs with BLAIR the bass around 30-45hz it sounds like by ear. But others poop out miserably. I know its not the enclosure because at 1/2 volume the response is very flat. I have bypassed the amp's crossovers and boosts because i like to control it at the HU. #3 It seems to happen worst when the song has a continuous bass line then has short bursts of bass added in (such as "go DJ" by lil wayne. On the other hand, the song "Who run it?" by Three 6 Mafia seems to do fine. The system has a JBL14001 running to a 2.66 ohm load of 3 10w6v2's. (in my sig.) I hooked up a 25 farad cap I had laying around but surprise surprise that didn't work.
